Holly Holm’s victory over Ronda Rousey exposed a serious weakness of the former champion, but she will still beat Amanda Nunes at UFC 206, according to Matt Mitrione.

The former undefeated bantamweight champion is set to return to the octagon for the first time since losing her title at UFC 193 last November and has been handed the chance to reclaim her belt against Nunes.

Rousey was undone by Holm as she kept her distance from the champion and delivered several massive punches on retreat before a huge head kick ended the contest.

MMA veteran Mitrione believes the hole in Rousey’s game is now open for all to climb through, but he does not think Nunes will have the ability to stay out of the 29-year-old’s clutches as Holm did.

‘I think Ronda got exposed and is going to have a really difficult time fighting anybody, because a lot of people are going to have a different game plan for her now,’ said Mitrione.

‘Is it the right fight for her, though? Yeah.

‘I think Julianna Pena would be highly aggressive and a difficult fight for Ronda. I think everyone knows what would happen if Ronda fought Cris Cyborg.

‘I think she wanted nothing to do with a rematch against Holly Holm. So it was either Miesha Tate or Amanda Nunes. She got what she needed. The UFC knows what Ronda needs to be successful, and they need her to be successful.
